The wheel of karma keeps on turning. Rich-client / client-server / rich-client / client-server. It's been going on since core memory supplanted rotating drum memory. It's not going to stop.
Javascript is an INSANELY GREAT way of implementing rich clients; the best I've seen in my almost half-century in the trade. (Progress. Duh.)
The modern clients (browsers) now have compilation right. V8 and its competitors are astonishing. But as always we have to get the distribution right: security, caches, progressive and async loading, agendas under control (meaning justified amounts of third party stuff).
